When is a bowl of hummus not hummus? When it doesn’t contain even a single chickpea, at least according to Marisa. Here’s the admittedly tasty sounding not-hummus recipe that got us talking about this.

Do you watch all those short cooking videos on facebook? We do. The thing is, a lot of them just don’t work.

And finally, at the market we are buying pea shoots. So spring-y, fresh, and delicious!

I also really enjoyed– and miss — the cooking shows that actually shows you how to cook ! I hardly even tune in to the Cooking Channel or Food Network anymore. PBS has some decent cooking shows on Saturday’s (Sara Mouton, Lydia B., Vic Rallo – Eat Drink Italy– although now only on you tube). Ina Garten’s show was my fav food network show… do I hear correctly she’s going to have a new show soon?!
